Hey all
I'm just starting to work on a site for a person and they want me to find a
host for them. I'm new to this area of Web Design. I have a couple
questions about what to look for in a hosting company. They are:
1.) What does transfer rate mean? I've seen anywhere from 500 meg to 5 gig
per month. I'm assuming the higher the better, but I would like to know
what it actually means.
2.) What is the difference between E-mail Pop accounts and E-mail aliases?
I found companies that would give you 5 pop accounts and you could have
unlimited aliases.
3.) Finally has anyone tried out some of the free hosting companies. I
found a couple out there. I'm just wondering if your getting what you pay
for in that case.
Thanks in advance.
Robert
